Kicked off 2024 with hurdling double and good second on chase debut since; leading claims

Won C&D maiden recently and this very lightly raced 6yo could continue to progress

Only five and he's a possible improver now tackling a handicap; watch the betting

Pulled up on both British runs but return of tongue-tie may be key for dual French winner
